The Sharing Foundation
Toy Drive
Benfield Elementary has historically been a top contributor in helping The Sharing Foundation provide holiday assistance to the working needy of Anne Arundel County. We hope to carry on with this tradition in donating new, unwrapped toys during our toy drive that will run from Nov. 11- Dec. 13. We will have different “theme weeks” to encourage a variety of toys being donated but items such as dolls, crafts, Legos, puzzles, books, games, coloring supplies, or sports items are always a big hit! Please consider contributing to this year’s toy drive!
KIDS HELPING KIDS HARVEST FOR THE HUNGRY FOOD DRIVE
Our food drive collection was a HUGE success! As a school, we collected 6,813 pounds of actual food donations and $80 in monetary donations which gives us a total of 7,453 pounds! Your generosity is so humbling and what a wonderful way for our students to be involved in making a positive impact for others in our community who are in need.
A special thank you to Mrs. Allman, who donated her time and talent to promoting our food drive and various spirit days on social media to drum up even more participation. Also, a very heartfelt thank you to our chief custodian, Jen Bernard, for weighing and boxing all of the donations from our school! You are amazing!
Our class competitions resulted in the following:
-1st place Ms. Hampton’s class (2057 lbs.)
-2nd place Ms. Coleman’s class (1857 lbs.)
-3rd place Mrs. DeLeonibus’ class (504 lbs.)

We Are Going to ROCK It this Year!
Telling Our Stories Benfield Elementary students are engaged in activities to learn
more about each other and have the opportunity to share what makes them special. Each grade level will be involved in
activities throughout the school year to share with our community “Who We Are.”
For the month of November, we will be learning about our fifth graders who shared who they are
through bio poems.
